Loki's Arc: Unravelling The Burden of Glorious Purpose | A Video Essay on The God of Mischief

For you. For all of us.
The MCU has had a rocky couple of years. I miss the impact Marvel used to have. But here came Loki’s conclusion, a PERFECT end to 12 years of his journey.
I wanted to go over his entire 12 year arc with all his movie and tv show appearances in Thor, The Dark World, The Avengers, Thor Ragnarök, Infinity War, loki Season 1, and Season 2.
The emotional weight of his journey is staggering. This is what happens when the MCU commits to taking their characters and stories seriously, like we - the audience all do. We see a vengeful, deceitful character that had to be unbound by time to discover what his purpose is.
In this deep-dive video essay, we explore Loki's transformation from a malicious, jealous, resentful, flawed antagonist to a complex anti-hero. We'll analyze how Tom Hiddleston brings Loki to life, delving into his multifaceted portrayal across the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Discover how themes of identity, redemption, and fate shape Loki's narrative.
*Excuse my sick voice, had to add in some clips while editing
*Note: I say 13 years at the end of the video but its 12 years

This video made me appreciate Loki even more, you deserve so many more views than you get. I really hope your channel manages to take off soon

This show, in addition to just being very good, did the same thing that Tales of the Jedi did for Dooku. It didn’t just show more of him, it showed *more* of him. I was kinda indifferent before but now I really like him as a character as a result. The video did a great job at putting it all together at once, too, since I haven’t seen some of the old MCU movies in a long time. Great work!
